2008 Mercury Sable
What's special about it?
What's special about the 2008 Mercury Sable? Not much, really.
Arriving this summer, the Sable is a newly named Montego, which is actually a rebadged Ford Five Hundred, which will soon be referred to as the Ford Taurus. Clear?
So the Sable, which will not be available in a wagon version like the old days, gets the corporate 3.5-liter V6 that's going to power just about every single Ford Motor Company product in the near future. It is mated to the six-speed automatic transmission, which provides gears for the 2008 Ford Taurus (née Five Hundred).
Compared to the 2007 Montego, the 2008 Sable has a new grille, headlamps and LED taillamps. The car's interior will be available with something called Cyber Carbon trim, which sounds like, well, it sounds like fake carbon fiber, which is what it is.
What's Edmunds' take?
Oh Montego, we barely knew ye. — Daniel Pund, Senior Editor, Detroit
